I didn't look for it back in November when I found the other errors so  
it could have existed then. Since they only recently corrected the 
problems I had identified ( I last checked about August and they had not 
yet been corrected) I wonder if this new error was introduced at that 
time. If anyone has the commercial reprint please check it for this 
newly identified error. The government and the commercial versions do 
contain the earlier error I had identified.  Although a navigator would 
not very likely use an altitude less than one degree it is good to 
remember this error. When calculating an altitude less than one degree 
carefully check the change in the printed altitudes as you approach 
zero. If a value near to zero suddenly jumps up bigger than the previous 
value you have found one of the erroneous entries and it should be a 
negative value. For example, in volume 2, Latitude 24� reading down the 
column for declination 16� same name, you get 2 02, 1 10, 00 18, 00 35,  
-1 27. The 00 35 value is in error since it is further above zero than 
the previous entry and it really should be -0 35. Going across this page 
you will find the same errors repeated in every other column. You also 
find the same errors near the bottom of the page for contrary name cases..
